we have to make two calculations i.e., income from self occupied property and income from let out property and have to divide the interest amount equally.
The deduction u/s 24b for self occupied property is allowed maximum upto RS.200000/- only(from ay 2015-16).
For Letout Property, there is no limit to claim deduction u/s 24b i.e., entire amount of interest paid can be taken as deduction.
for example, as you said I am taking 800000/- as interest paid.
it has to be divided equally i.e., 400000/- each
for self occupied property, annual value will be nil and deduction u/s 24b is restricted upto maximum of 200000/- only.
for let out property, calculate annual value and take the entire amount of 400000/- as deduction u/s 24b.
so out of 800000/- amount of interest, only 600000/- can be taken as deduction u/s 24b.
please correct me if, I am wrong
